The Recent Exclusive Reaction Poll...
Added 2022-12-02 19:07:57 +0000 UTC****I MADE AN UPDATED POST WITH MY DECISION ON HOW TO HANDLE THIS BASED ON THE FEEDBACK.****
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So here's the deal... between A Certain Magical Index, A Certain Scientific Railgun and A Certain Scientific Accelerator there are about 170 episodes of anime for this series...
We are about to finish Yona of the Dawn which is our Fantasy series so I present a choice...
YOU MAY ASK WHY I AM DOING THIS
That's because 170 episodes divided by 2 a week is 85... that's over a year and a half... even 4 episodes a week is about 42 weeks but at least that is less than a year... that's 20 months versus 10 months.

@Skebaba That sounds like hell lol

2022-12-03 16:49:52 +0000 UTCThere's even a more detailed list by episode splits, but that's too annoying to keep track of since you might need to, say, watch 8 episodes of Index I, then 12 or w/e episodes of Railgun, then the other bits of Index I, then the rest of Railgun, then Index II in bits then Railgun S in bits, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you legit follow a list pointing those out hahah

2022-12-03 14:13:56 +0000 UTCWell yes and no. It's technically BOTH sci-fi & fantasy, because of end-game plot reasons (if we ever get New Testament adaptations after the last Old Testament volumes failed cuz of the Committee forcing the studio to speedrun the remaining LN volumes in S3, thus skipping a fuckton of content & causing confusion among anime-onlies)
Skebaba
2022-12-03 14:11:35 +0000 UTCYeah it's a sci-fi fantasy hybrid genre by definition (it's surprisingly common, since Star Wars also falls under that too, arguably)
Skebaba
2022-12-03 14:10:04 +0000 UTCyup this is the order to watch it 100%

2022-12-03 13:50:58 +0000 UTCOnly Railgun got a few overlapping events with different perspectives, Accelerator and the other episodes of Railgun cover other events then the main series Index.

2022-12-02 22:02:45 +0000 UTCBut they literally is the same series just with a different perspective of the characters? both of them is sci-fi.

2022-12-02 20:38:27 +0000 UTCnot only that but it would occupy two different slots. if you already commit to watch a series this long, why not put it under the same slot?

2022-12-02 20:19:03 +0000 UTCIn this other from top to bottom. A Certain Magical Index A Certain Scientific Railgun A Certain Magical Index II A Certain Scientific Railgun S A Certain Magical Index III A Certain Scientific Accelerator A Certain Scientific Railgun T

2022-12-02 20:13:58 +0000 UTCBasically, the shared world is from Railgun, which is sci-fi. But the main plot and themes of Index is fantasy, as it touches on magic and religion.

2022-12-02 20:08:41 +0000 UTCWhat is the best watch order for the series?
JoeFreshest
2022-12-02 20:08:33 +0000 UTCIdk man starting with Railgun is kinda weird in my opinion. Yeah sure there's a little fantasy in Index but I'd say it's literally half sci-fi and the other half fantasy, i guess. You could say railgun has fantasy as well since it's literally in the same universe as Index and goes along with the events of Index. So taking away the poll in which index shares the sci-fi genre just like Railgun doesn't sit right for me. I'm just putting my thoughts out there. Either way, I'll just vote for both series
SirFS
2022-12-02 20:08:31 +0000 UTCWoof. Haven't seen the series so maybe it's totally worth it but that commitment sounds like reaction channel poison lol especially if you consider how many other shows you could watch through in the same amount of time. But I guess if enough people think it's good enough to warrant that then shit maybe that's the move. I think I'll personally abstain from voting and just see how it goes.

2022-12-02 19:50:11 +0000 UTCIt has a scifi background, and that's it. The main story is a fantasy.
bobo
2022-12-02 19:48:51 +0000 UTCi think he could just start by watch one saison and if like he could watch more and if not he could stop
azope
2022-12-02 19:42:16 +0000 UTCThe fact that these people are trying to subject you to a year long commitment is cheeks. I wouldn’t entertain it but that’s me
Coping McCoperson
2022-12-02 19:39:13 +0000 UTCIt is both it clearly have sf and have fantasy too
azope
2022-12-02 19:37:15 +0000 UTCidk why you think index isn't scifi, it's listed as scifi + fantasy on every anime/light novel website.
luis
2022-12-02 19:33:41 +0000 UTCthe poll is clearly unfair the in favor of watch comunauty will divied betwen the first and the second choice and you could totaly have a 66% of the vote in favor to watch a least one serie but still loss because the oposant will not be divived some think like 1 33% 2 33% and last choice 34% hopefully to aru will won even with that
azope
2022-12-02 19:19:36 +0000 UTCindex ,definitefly is a sf serie it just that it have fantasy too . personaly i think you could just do one saison of index or railgun and do a another poll after that
